Doug's Blues Thread, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi Doug! Thanks for the post. I think that you are at the right place.
 QUOTE (dougj3 @ Nov 11 2021, 09:15 PM)  Also in the past it was so confusing. Do I start with an acoustic or electric? Do I strum or do I fingerpick. Do I play with a pick or without? What style do I choose? So many things that just add to the confusion. There is no one correct way to start. You can chose the one that is most natural for you. The decision can be based on your influences or on whatever is easiest for you. QUOTE (dougj3 @ Nov 11 2021, 09:15 PM) I really want to learn the blues. Love it. I pretty much like any genre of music. I’m currently listening to Rory Block, Santana, SRV, Eric Johnson etc. Hope this helps. I’ll Work on a video for you. I am playing on an electric guitar. I love the sound of an acoustic but the size of the electric works much better for my arthritis and body size. Cool! I'll wait for your video. Thanks and welcome! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Doug! Thanks for the video!!
The audio and video quality is perfect for this purpose. I can see that you have a good sense of rhythm and that you already can make all those chords sound good. I'd like to see you getting used to the pick so we can get into some blues rhythms and riffs. Please check out this lesson to learn the best way to hold a pick: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Using-a-Guitar-Pick/ And then, start working on this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Acoust...low-Blues-in-E/ You can learn the first 2 parts, and record a video at your comfortable tempo so I can check how it's going. What do you think? -------------------- My lessons
